Chapter 4 - Trapped in The Evil

Hours later, when she woke up, she told me all that had happened. She was traumatized and was crying and repeatedly mumbling:

"They are gonna kill me... They are gonna kill me"

I ignored her and comforted her, making her stop crying and hugging her tightly.

She told me that they threatened to kill her when the clock hits 12. I went to see the guests, but their room was empty and none of their belongings could be found either.

I soothed her by saying that they are gone with all their belongings but she was crying that they are gonna return, and she will not be alive when I will wake up. I told her that I will be by her side and will not sleep until she is safe

I became sad at her condition and wanted to chill her somehow. Ah…the helplessness I was having at that time. You might say that that was one of the worst moments in my whole life

After a while, she got hold of herself and I consoled her. We then proceeded to go to their room and check it. We searched the whole room, turned the bed over, opened the cabinet violently, and searched everywhere.

There was not a single piece of dust that could give the slightest hint that someone had even visited this room

The day passed by pretty fast and darkness once again overlapped the surrounding. As soon as the clock struck 9 I felt a gust of wind striking my back. It went straight up to my mind and goosebumps covered my whole body. Now only one thing was ringing inside both of our minds: "They are gonna kill her"

I felt the most unease I have ever felt and went running to her. I told her that I was not feeling good and that we should go to bed early that night. That would help us both emotionally

We had our dinner and went to sleep. Cool strokes of wind started coming into the room from the window and we were starting to have like the best sleep of our life. We fell asleep as soon as we lay down and were resting peacefully.

A while later, my wife woke up due to thirst and woke me up too. She asked me to accompany her because she was afraid. I noticed the time and it was 11:50

I went down with her and just as we were entering the kitchen, a strange scream came from the guests' room. She held me tightly and asked me to stay with her. Another scream and another and another came and all of them were from different directions. I asked my wife to stay in the kitchen because I thought that was the safest place of all for her to be at that time.

I went in the direction of the last scream I heard and it didn't take long before I could clearly hear some girl calling my name. Acting dumb enough, I walked to her and made the worst decision of my life. The voice took me a little too far from my wife. Now my wife was there all alone, unguarded, and scared. Suddenly I heard my wife scream like hell.

While I was chasing that voice, several shady figures appeared in the kitchen and cornered my wife. Some of them were my friends, but there were more of them. They completely took control over her and she couldn't let out the slightest scream.

Trembling with terror, my wife slowly backed down until she was cornered by those shady figures. They told her that she had come to know about their dark secrets, which she hadn't even told me, and that she had to die at any cost.

She begged them and promised that she wouldn't tell anyone about it but they didn't listen to her a bit and proceeded to stab her several times. At the first stab, she succeeded in making a scream that I heard.

I came running to her but I was too late. Ah…I was too late…

After I came sprinting and as soon as I reached for the kitchen door, I burst open it with all my force and was greeted with my wife's head at my feet. Her decapitated head was present at my feet, with eyes snapped out of the eye-hole and a wide and terrible grin on her face

I lift her head up crying. I seriously don't know where on the earth the courage of lifting my dead wife's head came

I went forward and saw her body laying there, her stomach stabbed tens of times and blood dripping from her dead body. I broke down and sat near her, taking her dead self in my warmest embrace and just crying there. I lifted up my head and was shocked to see… What I saw was blood scattered on the front wall and the following words were written by her blood:

"YOU ARE NEXT!!!"
